Document leak: Afghanistan questions US' 'contradictory' silence over Pak role | Afghanistan on Tuesday charged the United States with pursuing a contradictory policy with regard to the Afghan war. Kabul said Washington has been ignoring Islamabad’s role in the insurgency, following the leak of US military documents on the website WikiLeaks.org. The classified documents show current and former members of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) actively collaborating with the Taliban in plotting attacks
in Afghanistan. According to the Dawn, Afghanistan’s National Security Council
said in a statement: “With regret ... our allies (read the US ) did not show necessary
attention about the external support for the international terrorists ... for
the regional stability and global security.” The National Security Council, however,
did not name Pakistan, but said the use of terrorism as an instrument of state
policy was a dangerous gamble and had to be stopped. “Having a contradictory and
vague policy against the forces who use terrorism as a tool for interference and
sabotage against others, have had devastating results,” it said. The White House
has condemned the disclosures, saying it could threaten national security. Pakistan
said leaking unprocessed reports from the battlefield was irresponsible. The documents
numbering about 91,000 also said that coalition troops had killed hundreds of
Afghan civilians in unreported incidents. |
